Just imagine a scenario in which PM Liz Truss was in charge now and then tell me that "all politicians are the same"

All the signals here - EU unity, solidarity with Ukraine, £ for re-armament & boost for UK defence sector in doing so - are bang on. Starmer’s played this well so far & worth thinking about why No 10 isn’t always this sure-footed on domestic policy www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn...

Been on tour of New Zealand. The Americans in our motley band – a real rocket scientist, retired judge, ex defence attorney, serving soldier, two ex military medics & one other – all angry about Trump, Vance & Musk. Utterly, universally appalled.

After so many self-inflicted wounds, #ncfc today came up against an even more indisciplined team in #watford – who could/should have finished with 9 players yet convinced themselves it was all an injustice.

Unless I dozed off, #NCFC have had one shot on target … saved by Angus. It’s been a tough watch.

Presumably Man City can amortise #Haarland fee over longer period of his ‘useful life’ now.

We had a ball at #MammaMiaTheParty & in case you’re wondering, there are no bad seats.

Long foggy, icy drive to and fro yesterday. It’s always a commitment for us to reach #ncfc. But that was first time I’ve booed the news of extra time. 😳

Twitter account now deactivated. I won't be part of a platform infested with hate & owned by a megalomaniac. Good riddance. I only hope BlueSky continues to flourish. Would welcome any and all new followers here. @bsky.app

Lol, had a look at the report for Kenny McLean's first 4-match suspension and the extra match added to the suspension was probably fair enough tbh #ncfc

'Grooming gangs'? There's one convicted child abuser in my records whose network involved Eton College staff and the Surrey Young Conservatives. First two episodes of our new series now available - more next Weds. @mrjamesob.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

About 70pts gets you into playoff contention. We got 73 last season but 71 would’ve been enough. So 34ish needed from 20 games: Avg needs to be 1.7ish pts per game for rest of season. Very do-able. Last 10 have included 3 defeats but avg exactly 1.7pts per game. An uptick away would book top 6 spot

Pesky facts. They’re not going to trouble Elon or the Tories making political capital from misery of victims.

There is no better time than right now to abandon Twitter. Make it useless. Worthless.

Rupert Lowe, endorsed by Musk as suitable Reform leader, was the most unpleasant person I had to deal with in 40+ years in journalism (from big field of inflated egos in sport). As Southampton owner, in his mind he was officer class & I was other ranks: not worth showing the tiniest courtesy.

This has to be the most dishonest reporting of an opinion poll I've ever seen The survey actually found that over two thirds of voters *do not* think Starmer will be out of No 10 within a year.

Because I go to games, I seldom hear @chrisgoreham.bsky.social. But how lucky the Y’Army are to have someone who knows exactly what the extra time goals meant to us yet can depict the action with such precision.
